DJI MAVIC 2 PRO vs 2 ZOOM COMPARISON 

When we shot this videos we had very little info on the quads, I apologize for any mistakes. More tests (low light, etc.,) coming in the following weeks. Thanks for the support, and to the disrespectful ones, thanks for the views and comments :)

you deserve way more subscribers. You have great editing and video quality. Thanks for putting out great content. My zoom comes in next week. So excited.

As always... great video and thanks for the comparison!

i got the zoom it's perfect for me, quality is deff good enough for someone like me cuz i'm only posting on insta/facebook and taking videos of friends.Optical zoom and dolly zoom feature are just extras. You have to be somewhat of an expert with photography to get most out of the pro. I don't even know half those terms lol maybe i'll learn as i go and for my next drone i will buy the one with better camera!

I have bought the Pro Version^^ just waiting for delivery. Bye the way very nice clips from you about the mavic 2!

The sensor is actually from Sony, Hasselblad does not make sensors ;-) Apart from that great video

Great video guys. Thanks

Im curious to know, with the zoom, zoomed in all the way, will it create and good blurred BG? And good parallax effect? It would be good to have the zoom to shoot wide scenery, but also zoomed in onto the subject with a blurry background, looks more cinematic. But how blury would it be? Worth it or better just stick with the pro Is it also wider than the pro? and the focal length mentioned, is that FF equivalent??

Thanks! I too waited for this machine because I wanted a camera, not a toy. I've been a Phantom flyer until now. So, I'll do some tutorials on the M2P tonight, and first flight is tomorrow morning.

For me the difference to the 1"sensor is really less than expected. For me and my usage I ordered the zoom, but I the Dolly Zoom effect sequence was really blurry...any mistake on your side? Cheers DrDuu

Excellent comparisons on the differences of the DJI Mavics! Great shots and point of view of each drones! Thanks for sharing!

Great wonderful work ... thank you

Everyone is talking about the amazing "cinematic" look with the 48mm on the zoom but the crop mode of the pro (that should be round about 45mm) looks even similar with better quality. So I think the zoom is super amazing but when you don't need that "zoom move" you can have a "zoom" on the pro, too. :D Super amazing!

Very good test.

Very professional video. Thank you for a nice comparison of both stills and video. What do you think of the HLG footage with the LUT? Was it taken later in the afternoon?

This review give me a reason to buy Mavic 2 Pro instead of Zoom. Thanks Alex for this honest review. Why Dolly effect is so bad at the end ?

thank you! great video!

Excellent explanation thanks

Good video, Alex. Just received my MP2 Pro today. Looks like you subjected your ride to a drone crash test! ;)

I've ordered the Pro version. The dolly zoom can be done in post fairly easy and the 1" sensor will help. Further the aperture is really nice. Literally the only benefit I see for the zoom is the optical zoom, which allows not to fly so close to the object.

We know that you love the phantom serie. How the phantom 4 Pro V2 is doing next to the Mavic 2 Pro ? Do you still prefer the phantom

another great video liked the way u compared the two by footage switching from one drone to another .still a hard call to make as I not really into editing I think I will go for zoom and buy extra battery and good bag for the same money ..plus can also upgrade camera in the future ,great video again

Great video! Can you do one comparing the drones in low light?!

Awesome awareness. Cool stuff

Mavic 2 Pro 24mm?? --> should be 28mm

Great video! Nice shots! As far as I know the Pro has even 28mm standard focal length. Is there a way to zoom smoothly with the Pro from full sensor to crop or is this just switchable?

I got my Zoom this morning. I found out that my Nexus 9 that I have used for my P4 will not except the updated Mavic 2 Go4 app. You may want to check the new specs for what phones or tablets are compatible with the new mavic 2 and zoom. The list has changed. Set up is quite lengthy. I started by charging batteries, and then found that they want you to connect the battery hub to the computer for update. Battery hub update? That's a first! Hopefully I'll be flying by sunset!

Should I buy the Mavic Pro 2 or the phantom 4 for photography?

I'd love to know what camera you are using to video yourself. The detail in that camera is amazing

I dnk what to get or i need?? If ill get it ill use it for going to different places, fun, adventures, family, friends etc im just a regular person w drone will be good for me?

Love your sunglasses! Which ones are they?

Which of the 2 PRO or ZOOM has the best compatable vidoe in AUTO with other cameras like GOPRO or Garmin VIRB? I mean if you dont want to colorgrade too much and just want to blend drone with regular actioncamera vids which one is closest to actioncameras in color and whitebalance?

Does both the Mavic 2 and Mavic zoom have the Hyperlapse and dolly zoom function? Thanks in advance

When you take off do you need to do a compass calibration? Let me know.....

great videos! i can't see anywhere where you say what camera and lens you use in your videos .. it focuses so well !!!

whats better for landscape photos? zoom or pro.....i hike alot and love to just take photos over videos

Great review. Question for you. I am a real estate photographer and am struggling with the choice between them. The 1” sensor is appealing but so is the option of the zoom. Wouldn’t the super high photo res mode negate the benefit of the 1” sensor for still photos of houses? Also which in your opinion would need less post production for the video? Thanks

Nice Review and comparison of the Pro vs Zoom Mavics, any chance of testing the battery life of the controllers? as they also were improved with larger battery. Have you noticed how long the charge time was and would it be same or similar time to the original Mavic Pro?

Would be interested in how lens flare compares between old Mavic Pro and new Mavic 2 drones.

Thanks. Wish there would be 1) Split screen comparison, 2) Low-light -this is a HUGE difference maker for the 1" sensor, 3) Focus speed comparison - I'm hearing the zoom is faster, 4) DJI Googles review-is the 1080p a difference maker on the googles?

Hi We Talk UAV, I am a serious amateur photographer and only interested on images. Once both mavics were launched I thought that my option was "no brainer" with mavic 2 Pro but after seeing a lot of video comparisons and the fact that M2Z has the option of high resolution images now I am very confusing what would be the right option for me. I will appreciate your comments and thanks before hand.

Looking mighty fine in those sun glasses my guy, where did you get those, never seen that unique design 🙌👍👌💯

I'm eager to see the test on active track with those additional sensors....and thank you for the shooting in SPAIN

does the mavic 2 have smartcapture like the mavic air so you can use your hands to control it and do odd bits with it?

Hi, I have the Mavic pro and I love it. I don’t really know much about the internal components on the Mavic pro so please don’t give me a hard time for my questions. Lol 🤔 I just purchased it about a month ago and I didn’t know that DJI was coming out with the new Mavic 2’s with the newer cameras and sensors.😩. So my question is can you upgrade the Mavic pro by switching out the camera with one of the newer Mavic 2 cameras and can you upgrade to the newer 360* sensors? Is the Mavic pro actually capable of operating the newer cameras and sensors or would the hardware (electronics) need to be replaced also. Does the newer Mavic 2’s have different hardware. I know it probably can’t be done but I was just wondering. If it can be done is it even cost effective of would it be better to just wait and purchase a newer drone?? Thank you😏

Sir as per you which is the best one pro r zoom

I feel like the zoom is the better Mavic 2 drone for me. To be able to capture weddings or my kids soccer games from farther away and not distract people from the event would be great. I will say I'm disappointed in the "Dolly zoom" as EVERY example of it I've seen on RU-vid, it gets the foreground out of focus. Very blurry actually... I hope they do an update to fix this. For now, the Mavic Air will still be the drone for me. Better flight time, a quieter drone, and a better signal is definitely tempting.

Nice video! Good informations!

Hello did you ever or anyone have flown the mavic 2 zoom without the gimbal or it's possible to fly. Trying to find out because my gimbal is broken camera works fine but no movement and camera is motionless.

Does the obstacle sensores work when the mavic 2 is in return to home ?

Hi, what microphone system are you using in this video, please?

good job, greetings from madrid! I'll take the pro

Another great video. Many thanks. Does anyone know if the iPad Mini 4 will fit with the new controller? Cheers

You do not expalin in which codec did you shoot the video samples/comparison. h264 or h265 ? Some scenes have severe artifacts in broad daylight , when opened in 20/30 inches full screens. THANK YOU for your video and your review. Very enlightening and helpful !!! Great video.

Should I get the Phantom 4 Pro V 2.0 with 4K 60 and 1 inch sensor or will the Mavic 2 Pro 1 inch sensor give me the same type of great video footage?

i have to buy the fly more combo version for the controller? because the fly more combo is 400 dollars so i want to know if i can safe some money.

Any good side by side comparisons for Pro Digital 4x (with Full FOV and HQ FOV) vs Zoom 2x manual/2x digital (4x lossless)? side by side on the ground works.

Can the mavic 2 pro achieve optical zoom like the zoom version?

Sir Please can You tell me Which Software are you use for Your (you tube) Video Editing ❤

Thanks for comparison but please.. can you make direct comparison of picture quality? I mean fly with both drones side by side, with same framing, with same video settings, with same focal distance (I think so its 28mm) and put these footage into the split screen? It would be great and truly comparison.

Excelente video!

What about low light filming (night or late evening)?

Alex , did you have any problems flying with the new GEO fencing that now is used with the Mavic 2 drones ?

I see some judder in mavic pro footage. Is that RU-vid or Mavic 2?

Great comparison! could you make it during golden hour, so we can see contrast in the EV better? At DJI they said they made the PRO to be better at those shots I think

Pro 2 Camera is Awesome but don't know why , but I see myself using more the Mavic Zoom for videography!

If you have double the sensor size and use a distorting digital zoom, would it it compare to be equivalent to a half sensor size optically zoomed image???

Nice job on the review. But I can’t for the life of me figure out why you would need to zoom in on a drone. I don’t see that as a major selling point. I mean it’s cool but worth the premium cost?

Please, somebody talk about and show, how does 48 megapixel shot good or bad?

Love the video. Just out of curiosity, I see some users reporting issues with their m2 pro... have you experienced any "issues" with the gimbal loosing from the drone or the gimbal hitting the body while in flight? Mavicpilots.com has a thread where some owners are allegedly "experiencing?" the above.

where can i download video to see side by side?

Can the mavic 2 pro achieve optical zoom?

Alex, where did you took vedio with arial photography.?

Hi WE TALK UAV complementing my question below, my main concern has to do with a comparison that I have not seen yet for landscapes photographers like me. A comparison image quality between super high res (48 megapixeles) in M2Z versus quality image of M2P (20 Megapixeles). I am a landscape photographer and use to take very few but special images. Have you already done this comparison? Regards from Chile

*Can you show us the zoom lens actually moving in and out of the mavic 2 zoom's camera unit. Also do a range test one with sport mode and one with out.*

are you in Italy?

Could you please do a night flight or dusk with the pro so we can see the difference with the 1" sensor.

Thanks again for the updates , just can’t justify the cost of either drone as I have both the P4P and Mavic Pro, yes the 2 Pro has a better camera than the zoom , my opinion the other flight modes are just not worth the extra expensive. Thanks & Regards.

Nice glasses !

Cool

Could you please do a comparison between Mavic Air and Mavic 2.

Hi, congratulations by your vlog helps.So, if possible, can you please let us know about real test in working distance range and battery endurance. (live test) Thank you in advance. Regards

what is the your sun glass brand?

i think because of the more limited dynamic range the zoom places the highlights a bit too high. Maybe using minus ev and crushing the blacks just a bit could match the tonality and colors of the pro or come close.

Where are you take Aerial phtography in?

Hi Alex, i just wanna hear from you, about i crashed my Mavic 2 Pro a weeks ago(3yrs after the date of purchase)on Bulk Carrier Ship side during my Ship side photo capture as the obstruction sensor did not work and continues drifting of the Mavic 2 Pro until it Crash the ship side and fall into the Sea(probably because i got slow internet connection and error that distructed downloading Firmware update thru laptop Computer). Do you think this is the cause of crashing my Mavic 2 Pro?, is it possible to use my remain Mavic 2 Pro Remote Controller to Bind/Link to Mavic 2 Zoom?. Dji Support advice me to send email to them in order to assess whether the cause of crashed is to be compensate by Dji as per After Sales Policy Rgrds & Thanks in advance to hear from you(Your long time Subscriber here/Licensed Drone Pilot)

u need anti collision sensors on ur car man lol XD good videos!

Where is the footage from?

I want them !!

Nice video guys. It was a 8.5 note. To make it a 10 vídeo you should do the same flight with the old Mavic Pro. Doing this you will show us if the are that good. Thank you.

Why not show us compare those two at the night shots?

is your favorit the mavic zoom or pro? Thanks for this great video. (You are the first youtuber who compare the mavic zoom and pro so good)((Sorry for my english ..i am from german and 14 year old)...I am going tom buy me a zoom on christmas ...

Nice video bro

thanks for the video bud

glasses Name plz

The Dolly Zoom that you made was very awfull to my taste, kind of blurry and to lighty. Do you bealive its something wrong when you made it? Or let me ask different, dou you belive it could be better if you don't use manual settings? Thanks for the comparison and for the video!

The Pro just looks vastly better to me. The bigger frame from the 1 inch sensor just looks so much more cinematic. Also, the the zoom only has 13 stops of dynamic range in d-log which it can't handle shooting in due to the 8 bit color. So really the pro is likely 3 stops better since it can shoot in 10 bit. Thats huge. The zoom lens isn't a very big deal to me at all. Especially when you are only getting quality that looks more like a mavic air. A bigger sensor will just always look more cinematic than basically a camera phone sensor.

What backpack is that

A lot of people are asking about low light difference between these two cameras. To answer, it will be a big difference, similar to the P4P and the Mavic Air.

Сравните наконец-то уже mavic air vs phantom 4 pro vs mavic 2 pro vs mavic 2 zoom
